In addition to those three things, I’ll be writing at least 1,000 words per day on a new project that I’m pretty much pantsing—it’s an idea I’ve been playing with and I have about seven different directions I could see the story going and I don’t know which one is best. I have a pretty good handle on my main lady character, but not the main man character. I expect this drafting process to be rough.

But I’m kind of excited about that?

Taking Flightwas rough to write for emotional reasons and because I allowed myself to take a couple years to write the dang thing. My second book was plotted and written during last November’s NaNoWriMo, and, strangely, that was one of those first drafts that was in shockingly good shape when I began the revision process. (Hopefully I’ll have an exciting announcement about that one soon!) But this one is a story that I really only have a seed of so far and I’m excited to see what happens when I let myself write messy.

But, hopefully at the end of the month I’ll have a finished first draft of a very messy WIP (work in progress)! There will be word vomit on the page that I can start massaging and shaping into a story that I’ll hopefully be able to share with all of you amazing readers in the future!
